Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NetherlandsWe were quite disappointed that only one swimming pool out of four was open. And that was also the not heated one. This should have absolutely be mentioned at the booking.com site on which they promote this hotel for the four swimming pools. One day they even closed also the only open pool but opened it again after our protests. More specific communication about the topic on the website is fair and required.
Very nice hotel with spacey rooms and very friendly staff! Good breakfast buffet.

United KingdomBreakfast and the buffet dinner were mediocre. There was not enough waiting staff. The location was a little remote although this could be a positive for some guests
We had a superior sea view room. The room was spacious with coffee making facilities and had a large deck with sun loungers. The view was very good. Free parking next door though this could be limited at high season. Good promenade walking from the hotel.

United KingdomOver charged for the room - Booked a 3 night stay via booking.com at £69 per night with breakfast included - Our flight was brought forward due to a storm in the UK so needed any extra night so they amended our booking, later when I checked they had charged me £200 for the extra night.........Disgusting.
Rooms are very spacious - Breakfast buffet was fantastic - Ample local free parking - Nice tv's showing sports in the bar - Complementary bar snacks are a nice touch - Bar prices very reasonable for a large hotel.

Spainminor grievance, but the car park boom gate didn't work with number plate recognition, so you have to use the card to scan to let you in/out; which would have been ok, except, because of the weird angle of the scan machines, you literally have to get out of your car to scan it. Not something you'd want to do when its raining outside.
Great location and beautiful hotel, friendly and helpful staff, bunch of entertainment in the lobby, great pools, the food is amazing!

AustraliaThere needed to be more staff working at the bar. The poor lady there was run off her feet. The only other thing was the heating/ cooling in the room. We didn't have enough university degrees between us to get it right and had to open the balcony door for some cool air.
We loved that one of the pools was open (winter)! More importantly, the staff were amazing. Very friendly and happy to help whenever we asked anything. The hotel was clean, and grounds well kept. The breakfast was excellent value and lots of good options. The beds were massive and very comfortable (including the pillows). The room was huge and the balcony was excellent . We had fantastic views and didn't have to get the most expensive room to get that either! Would 100% stay here again.

United KingdomThe fact they didn't have food options after midnight wasn't brilliant as we were all very hungry.
The staff were fabulously helpful. We had a redirected flight from Malaga and ended up here because we didn't have much choice. We booked at very short notice, and took a cab and arrived at after midnight tired. The staff were very helpful, very friendly, and made our check-in super easy. The hotel is clean, spacious, and very modern. The rooms are a very good size, and the sea view rooms stare over the lit up pools and make for very nice accommodation. The beds are fantastic, massive and comfy. I only scored the location down because we were supposed to be on Malaga. In all fairness, we didn't see any Almeria as we headed off in the morning to our holiday destination.

United KingdomI didn't enjoy the bingo by the pool at 5 p.m. every day. Very annoying, very loud. The service and offer at the snack bar was a little inconsistent. The guy didn't speak any English and every time I ordered a soft drink I got a different size (for the same prize). The food was similar, the same dish looked very different depending on who was doing the cooking. Not bad overall but just a little bit annoying.
Lovely hotel with friendly staff, amazing pools, nice spa, small gym and comfy rooms/beds. I very much enjoyed my stay. The reception team was very friendly, the breakfast and the three pools were very nice. I also enjoyed my massage. The gym is small but functional. There is live music every night and some mostly non-intrusive entertainment throughout the day like petanque, dance lessons, water gymnastics, yoga etc.

United KingdomWe didn't like that our room water bottles were not stocked up on daily basis, but instead is only provided on arrival. We also were surprised that the hotel doesnt provide kettle and complimentary teas/coffee in the room, especially as that is very unusual to not have nowadays, (I appreciate we have breakfast and coffee is free there but not everyone can drink all the drinks at once) - HOWEVER, despite this i would still recommend this hotel and return to it in the future.
The rooms were very spacious and kept clean throughout. Cleaning staff were super on it and very helpful. The views from the rooms were lovely (had a limited sea view). the hotel is in quiet and relaxing part of retamar. Great connections with Bus between Almeria center and airport!

United KingdomDinner 8pm-9:30pm, which felt a bit late. Cocktails are rubbish - 8 euros for virgin pina colada, which was just ice cubes, pineapple juice and about a tablespoon of coconut cream. Must have half board, as nothing in the area.
Massive room, comfortable bed, nice quality bedding, good shower. Breakfast is good. Dinner is good as well, apart from deserts which were all the same. The swimming pool area is nice. Sea is great, but has pebble stones beach - if you wish to swim worth taking the swim shoes.
